Children Of Bodom will release their new record Hexed on March 8 and Swallow The Sun will release a new one called When A Shadow Is Forced Into The Light on February 1. Both bands will be teaming up to tour North America in support of these records, and to give us Americans a solid dose of Scandinavian heaviness.
The tour will be opened by Wolfheart on all dates and Summoner’s Circle, Hollow Cry and Fragmentum on select dates.
Here's what Children Of Bodom frontman and guitarist Alexi Laiho had to say about the trek.
“Hello North America! Just wanna say and empathize the word “finally” … fuckin’ finally we’ll be back on the road – like old school style and over the pond too!! We’ll be in your town just as you’re getting your hands on the new record. Even if you do not have it, don’t worry cause we’re gonna rotate the setlist to include old tracks that will blow your mind back to hell so it’s gonna be a good fuckin’ party ladies and gentlemen. Hoping to see you there!!”
